  • Table of Contents
  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    1.1 Extended Adjuvant Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer

    NERLYNX as a single agent is indicated for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, to follow adjuvant trastuzumab based therapy [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1)] .

    1.2 Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

    NERLYNX in combination with capecitabine is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2 based regimens in the metastatic setting [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2)] .

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    2.1 Premedication for Diarrhea

    When not using dose escalation [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2)], administer antidiarrheal prophylaxis during the first 56 days of treatment and initiate with the first dose of NERLYNX [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    Instruct patients to take loperamide as directed in Table 1. Titrate loperamide to 1–2 bowel movements per day.

    Table 1: Loperamide Prophylaxis
    Time on NERLYNXLoperamide Dose and Frequency
    Weeks 1–2 (days 1–14)4 mg three times daily
    Weeks 3–8 (days 15–56)4 mg twice daily
    Weeks 9–Discontinuation of NERLYNX4 mg as needed, not to exceed 16 mg per day; titrate dosing to achieve 1–2 bowel movements per day

    If diarrhea occurs despite prophylaxis, treat with additional antidiarrheals, fluids and electrolytes as clinically indicated. NERLYNX dose interruptions and dose reductions may also be required to manage diarrhea [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3)] .

    2.2 Recommended Dose and Schedule

    Extended Adjuvant Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer

    The recommended dose of NERLYNX is 240 mg (six tablets) given orally once daily, with food, continuously until disease recurrence or for up to one year.

    Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

    The recommended dose of NERLYNX is 240 mg (six tablets) given orally once daily with food on Days 1–21 of a 21-day cycle plus capecitabine (750 mg/m 2given orally twice daily) on Days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities.

    Dose Escalation

    A two-week dose escalation for NERLYNX may be considered instead of starting at the 240 mg daily dose for patients with early-stage breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer, as described in Table 2[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    Table 2: NERLYNX Dose Escalation and Treatment Schedule
    Time on NERLYNXNERLYNX Dose
    Week 1 (days 1–7)120 mg daily (three 40 mg tablets)
    Week 2 (days 8–14)160 mg daily (four 40 mg tablets)
    Week 3 and onwards240 mg daily (six 40 mg tablets, recommended dose)

    If diarrhea occurs, treat with antidiarrheal medications, fluids, and electrolytes as clinically indicated. NERLYNX dose interruptions and dose reductions may also be required to manage diarrhea [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3)] .

    Administration Instructions

    Instruct patients to take NERLYNX at approximately the same time every day. NERLYNX tablets should be swallowed whole (tablets should not be chewed, crushed, or split prior to swallowing).

    If a patient misses a dose, do not replace missed dose, and instruct the patient to resume NERLYNX with the next scheduled daily dose.

    2.3 Dosage Modifications for Adverse Reactions

    NERLYNX dose modification is recommended based on individual safety and tolerability. Management of some adverse reactions may require dose interruption and/or dose reduction as shown in Table 3to Table 6.

    Discontinue NERLYNX for patients with adverse reactions that fail to recover to Grade 0–1 or baseline, with toxicities that result in a treatment delay >3 weeks, or if unable to tolerate 120 mg daily. Additional clinical situations may result in dose adjustments as clinically indicated (e.g., intolerable toxicities, persistent Grade 2 adverse reactions, etc.).

    When NERLYNX is used in combination with capecitabine, refer to the capecitabine prescribing information for dose modifications of capecitabine.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Diarrhea

    Severe diarrhea and sequelae, such as dehydration, hypotension, and renal failure occurred during treatment with NERLYNX. Diarrhea was reported in 95% of NERLYNX-treated patients in ExteNET, a randomized placebo-controlled trial in the extended adjuvant setting who were not required to receive antidiarrheal prophylaxis. In the NERLYNX arm, Grade 3 diarrhea occurred in 40% and Grade 4 diarrhea occurred in 0.1% of patients. The majority of patients (93%) had diarrhea in the first month of treatment, the median time to first onset of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 8 days (range, 1–350), and the median cumulative duration of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 5 days (range, 1–139) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    Diarrhea was reported in 83% of NERLYNX plus capecitabine treated patients in NALA, a randomized placebo-controlled trial in the metastatic breast cancer setting who were required to receive anti-diarrheal prophylaxis in the first 21-day cycle. The majority of patients (70%) had diarrhea in the first 21 days of treatment, the median time to first onset of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 11 days (range, 2–728) and the median cumulative duration of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 3 days (range, 1–21). In the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm, Grade 3 diarrhea occurred in 24% of patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    Antidiarrheal prophylaxis has been shown to lower the incidence and severity of diarrhea. Instruct patients to initiate antidiarrheal prophylaxis with loperamide along with the first dose of NERLYNX and continue during the first 56 days of treatment; after day 56, titrate dose to achieve 1–2 bowel movements per day and not to exceed 16 mg loperamide per day [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)]. Consider adding other agents to loperamide as clinically indicated [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    Alternatively, a 2-week NERLYNX dose escalation approach prior to initiation of the recommended treatment regimen with NERLYNX can also be considered for diarrhea management [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2)]. For patients who used NERLYNX dose escalation, the median time to first onset of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 45 days (range, 15–132) and the median cumulative duration of Grade ≥3 diarrhea was 2.5 days (range, 1–6). Grade 3 diarrhea occurred in 13% of patients who used NERLYNX dose escalation [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)].

    Monitor patients for diarrhea and treat with additional antidiarrheals as needed. When severe diarrhea with dehydration occurs, administer fluid and electrolytes as needed, interrupt NERLYNX, and reduce subsequent doses [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Perform stool cultures as clinically indicated to exclude infectious causes of Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea or diarrhea of any grade with complicating features (dehydration, fever, neutropenia).

    5.2 Hepatotoxicity

    NERLYNX has been associated with hepatotoxicity characterized by increased liver enzymes. In ExteNET, 10% of patients experienced an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increase ≥2× ULN, 5% of patients experienced an aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increase ≥2× ULN, and 1.7% of patients experienced an AST or ALT increase >5× ULN (≥Grade 3). Hepatotoxicity or increases in liver transaminases led to drug discontinuation in 1.7% of NERLYNX-treated patients.

    In the NALA study, in NERLYNX and capecitabine-treated patients, 7% experienced an ALT or AST increase >3× ULN, 2% experienced an ALT or AST increase >5× ULN, 7% experienced a bilirubin increase >1.5× ULN, and 1.3% experienced a bilirubin increase >3× ULN. Hepatotoxicity or increases in liver transaminases led to drug discontinuation in 0.3% of NERLYNX and capecitabine-treated patients.

    Total bilirubin, AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase should be measured prior to starting treatment with NERLYNX monthly for the first 3 months of treatment, then every 3 months while on treatment and as clinically indicated. These tests should also be performed in patients experiencing Grade 3 diarrhea or any signs or symptoms of hepatotoxicity, such as worsening of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant tenderness, fever, rash, or eosinophilia [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)] .

    5.3 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

    Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, NERLYNX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of neratinib to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis caused abortions, embryo-fetal death, and fetal abnormalities in rabbits at maternal AUCs approximately 0.2 times the AUC in patients receiving the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose. [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1, 8.3) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1)] .

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:

    • Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1)]
    • Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2)]

    6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

    Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

    Extended Adjuvant Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer

    ExteNET

    The data described below reflect the safety data of NERLYNX as a single agent in ExteNET, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of NERLYNX within 2 years after completion of adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab-based therapy in women with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. Patients who received NERLYNX in this trial were not required to receive any prophylaxis with antidiarrheal agents to prevent the NERLYNX-related diarrhea. Patients were treated with 240 mg of NERLYNX given orally once daily with food, continuously until disease recurrence or for up to one year. The median duration of treatment was 11.6 months in the NERLYNX arm and 11.8 months in the placebo arm. The median age was 52 years (60% were ≥50 years old, 12% were ≥65 years old); 81% were Caucasian, 3% Black or African American, 14% Asian, and 3% other. A total of 1408 patients were treated with NERLYNX.

    NERLYNX dose reduction due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 31% of patients receiving NERLYNX compared to 2.6% of patients receiving placebo. Permanent discontinuation due to any adverse reaction was reported in 28% of NERLYNX-treated patients. The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation was diarrhea, accounting for 17% of NERLYNX-treated patients.

    The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) were diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, vomiting, rash, stomatitis, decreased appetite, muscle spasms, dyspepsia, AST or ALT increased, nail disorder, dry skin, abdominal distention, epistaxis, weight decreased, and urinary tract infection. The most frequently reported Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions were diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain.

    Serious adverse reactions in the NERLYNX arm included diarrhea (1.6%), vomiting (0.9%), dehydration (0.6%), cellulitis (0.4%), renal failure (0.4%), erysipelas (0.4%), ALT increased (0.3%), AST increased (0.3%), nausea (0.3%), fatigue (0.2%), and abdominal pain (0.2%).

    Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

    NALA

    The data described below reflect the safety data of NERLYNX plus capecitabine in NALA, a randomized, multicenter, multinational, open-label, active-controlled study of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in patients, with or without brain metastases, who have received two or more prior anti HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting.

    Patients were treated with NERLYNX 240 mg orally once daily Days 1–21 of a 21-day cycle in combination with capecitabine (750 mg/m 2given orally twice daily) Days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle, or lapatinib 1250 mg orally once daily Days 1–21 of a 21-day cycle in combination with capecitabine (1000 mg/m 2given orally twice daily) Days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle until disease progression. The median duration of treatment was 5.7 months in the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm and 4.4 months in the lapatinib plus capecitabine arm.

    NERLYNX dose reduction due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 10% of patients receiving NERLYNX plus capecitabine. Permanent discontinuation due to any adverse reaction was reported in 14% of NERLYNX plus capecitabine treated patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were vomiting (3.6%), diarrhea (2.6%), nausea (2.6%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (2.3%) of NERLYNX plus capecitabine-treated patients.

    The most common adverse reactions of any grade (≥5%) in the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, constipation, fatigue/asthenia, weight decreased, dizziness, back pain, arthralgia, urinary tract infection, upper respiratory tract infection, abdominal distention, renal impairment, and muscle spasms. The most frequently reported Grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and decreased appetite.

    Serious adverse reactions ≥2% in the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm included diarrhea (7%), vomiting (3%), nausea (2.3%), and acute kidney injury (2.3%).

    Management of Diarrhea

    CONTROL

    The CONTROL (NCT02400476) study was a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort trial evaluating patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer treated with NERLYNX 240 mg daily for up to one year receiving loperamide prophylaxis with additional anti-diarrheal treatment as needed or NERLYNX dose escalation with loperamide as needed. All patients in the prophylaxis cohort received loperamide 4 mg loading dose, followed by 4 mg three times a day from days 1-14, followed by 4 mg twice a day on days 15-56, followed by loperamide as needed through 1 year of treatment with NERLYNX [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1)]. All patients in the dose escalation cohort received NERLYNX 120 mg for Week 1, followed by NERLYNX 160 mg for Week 2, followed by NERLYNX 240 mg for Week 3 and thereafter [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2)] .

    7.2 Effect of NERLYNX on Other Drugs

    Certain P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates

    Concomitant use of NERLYNX increased concentrations of a P-gp substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of these substrates. Monitor for adverse reactions of certain P-gp substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    Based on findings from animal studies and the mechanism of action, NERLYNX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1)] .

    There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of neratinib to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis resulted in abortions, embryo-fetal death and fetal abnormalities in rabbits at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately 0.2 times exposures in patients at the recommended dose ( see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.

    The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the background risk of major birth defects is 2%–4% and of miscarriage is 15%–20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in the U.S. general population.

    Data

    Animal Data

    In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, neratinib was administered orally for 15 days before mating to Day 7 of pregnancy, which did not cause embryonic toxicity at doses up to 12 mg/kg/day in the presence of maternal toxicity. A dose of 12 mg/kg/day in rats is approximately 0.5 times the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day in patients on a mg/m 2basis.

    In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals received oral doses of neratinib up to 15 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. No effects on embryo-fetal development or survival were observed. Maternal toxicity was evident at 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.6 times the AUC in patients receiving the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day).

    In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, pregnant animals received oral doses of neratinib up to 9 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis. Administration of neratinib at doses ≥6 mg/kg/day resulted in maternal toxicity, abortions, and embryo-fetal death (increased resorptions). Neratinib administration resulted in increased incidence of fetal gross external (domed head), soft tissue (dilation of the brain ventricles and ventricular septal defect), and skeletal (misshapen anterior fontanelles and enlarged anterior and/or posterior fontanelles) abnormalities at ≥3 mg/kg/day. The AUC (0-t)at 6 mg/kg/day and 9 mg/kg/day in rabbits were approximately 0.5 and 0.8 times, respectively, the AUCs in patients receiving the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day.

    In a peri- and postnatal development study in rats, oral administration of neratinib from gestation day 7 until lactation day 20 resulted in maternal toxicity at ≥10 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.4 times the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day in patients on a mg/m 2basis) including decreased body weights, body weight gains, and food consumption. Effects on long-term memory were observed in male offspring at maternal doses ≥5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.2 times the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day in patients on a mg/m 2basis).

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    No data are available regarding the presence of neratinib or its metabolites in human milk or its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from NERLYNX, advise lactating women not to breastfeed while taking NERLYNX and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

    8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

    Pregnancy

    Based on animal studies, NERLYNX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1)] . Females of reproductive potential should have a pregnancy test prior to starting treatment with NERLYNX.

    Contraception

    Females

    Based on animal studies, NERLYNX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1)] . Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with NERLYNX and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

    Males

    Based on findings in animal reproduction studies, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of NERLYNX [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1)] .

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and efficacy of NERLYNX in pediatric patients has not been established.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    In the ExteNET trial, in the NERLYNX arm; 1236 patients were <65 years, 172 patients were ≥65 years, of whom 25 patients were 75 years or older. There was a higher frequency of treatment discontinuations due to adverse reactions in the ≥65 years age group than in the <65 years age group; in the NERLYNX arm, the percentages were 45% compared with 25%, respectively, and in the placebo arm 6% and 5%, respectively. The incidence of serious adverse reactions in the NERLYNX arm vs placebo arm was 7% vs 6% (<65 years old) and 10% vs 8% (≥65 years old). The serious adverse reactions most frequently reported in the ≥65 years old group were vomiting (2.3%), diarrhea (1.7%), renal failure (1.7%), and dehydration (1.2%).

    In the NALA trial, in the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm; 242 patients were <65 years, 61 patients were ≥65 years, of whom 12 patients were 75 years or older. The incidence of serious adverse reactions in the NERLYNX plus capecitabine arm in the ≥65 years age group was 36% and in the <65 years age group was 34%. The serious adverse reactions most frequently reported in the ≥65 years age group were diarrhea (16%), acute kidney injury (8%), and dehydration (7%). No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 years old and patients <65 years old.

    8.6 Hepatic Impairment

    No dosage modifications are recommended for patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A or B).

    Neratinib clearance is reduced, and C maxand AUC increase in patients with severe, pre-existing hepatic impairment (Child Pugh C). Reduce the NERLYNX dosage for patients with severe hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)] .

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    There is no specific antidote, and the benefit of hemodialysis in the treatment of NERLYNX overdose is unknown. In the event of an overdose, administration should be withheld and general supportive measures undertaken.

    In the clinical trial setting, a limited number of patients reported overdose. The adverse reactions experienced by these patients were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. The frequency and severity of gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting) appear to be dose related.

Neratinib maleate is sparingly soluble at pH 1.2 (32.90 mg/mL) and insoluble at approximately pH 5.0 and above (0.08 mg/mL or less).

    Inactive ingredients: Tablet Core: colloidal silicon dioxide, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, povidone, magnesium stearate, and purified water. Coating: red film coat: polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and iron oxide red.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Neratinib is an intracellular kinase inhibitor that irreversibly binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), HER2, and HER4. In vitro, neratinib reduces EGFR and HER2 autophosphorylation, downstream MAPK and AKT signaling pathways, and showed antitumor activity in EGFR and/or HER2 expressing carcinoma cell lines. Neratinib human metabolites M3, M6, M7 and M11 inhibited the activity of EGFR, HER2, and HER4 in vitro. In vivo, oral administration of neratinib inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft models with tumor cell lines expressing HER2 and EGFR.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Neratinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are unknown.

    Cardiac Electrophysiology

    The effect of NERLYNX on the QTc interval was evaluated in a randomized, placebo, and positive-controlled, double-blind, single-dose, crossover study in 60 healthy subjects. At 140% the therapeutic exposures of NERLYNX, there was no clinically relevant effect on the QTc interval.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Neratinib AUC increases in less than dose proportional manner over a daily dose range of 40 to 400 mg (0.17 to 1.7 times the maximum approved recommended dosage).

    Absorption

    Peak concentrations of neratinib and major active metabolites M3, M6 and M7 are reached in the range of 2 to 8 hours after oral administration.

    Effect of Food

    A high-fat meal (approximately 55% fat, 31% carbohydrate, and 14% protein) increased neratinib C maxand AUC infby 70% (90% CI: 1.1–2.7) and 120% (90% CI: 1.4–3.5), respectively, in healthy subjects compared to fasting conditions. A standard breakfast (approximately 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 15% protein) increased the C maxand AUC infby 20% (90% CI: 0.97–1.42) and 10% (90% CI: 1.02–1.24), respectively, in healthy subjects [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2)] .

    Distribution

    The mean (%CV) apparent volume of distribution at steady state (V ss/F) was 6433 (19%) L in patients. In vitro protein binding of neratinib was greater than 99%, predominantly to serum albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, and was independent of concentration.

    Elimination

    The mean (%CV) plasma half-life of neratinib, M3, M6, and M7 was 14.6 (38%), 21.6 (77%), 13.8 (50%) and 10.4 (33%) hours, respectively, in healthy subjects. The mean elimination half-life of neratinib ranged from 7 to 17 hours following a single oral dose in patients. The mean (%CV) CL/F after first dose and at steady state (day 21) were 216 (34%) and 281 (40%) L/hour, respectively, in patients.

    Metabolism

    Neratinib is metabolized primarily in the liver by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO).

    Neratinib represents the most prominent component in plasma. The systemic exposures (AUC) of the active metabolites M3, M6, M7 and M11 were 15%, 33%, 22%, and 4% of the systemic neratinib exposure, respectively, at steady state in healthy subjects.

    Excretion

    After oral administration of radiolabeled neratinib 200 mg (0.83 times of maximum approved recommended dosage), fecal excretion accounted for approximately 97% and urinary excretion accounted for 1.1% of the total dose. Sixty-one percent of the excreted radioactivity was recovered within 96 hours and 98% was recovered after 10 days.

    Specific Populations

    Age, sex, race, and renal function do not have a clinically significant effect on neratinib pharmacokinetics.

    Patients With Hepatic Impairment

    Neratinib exposures in patients with mild (Child Pugh A) and moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh B) were similar to that in healthy subjects with normal hepatic function. Neratinib C maxand AUC increased by 173% and 181%, respectively, in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh C) as compared to subjects with normal hepatic function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6)] .

    Drug Interaction Studies

    Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches

    Gastric Acid Reducing Agents:Concomitant use with lansoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) decreased neratinib C maxby 71% and AUC by 65%. When NERLYNX was administered 2 hours after ranitidine (H 2receptor antagonist), the neratinib C maxwas reduced by 57% and AUC by 48%. When NERLYNX was administered 2 hours prior to ranitidine, neratinib C maxwas reduced by 44% and AUC by 32% [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1)] .

    Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors:Concomitant use of ketoconazole (strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitor) increased neratinib C maxby 221% and AUC by 381% [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1)] .

    P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 Dual Inhibitors:Verapamil (moderate CYP3A4 and P-gp dual inhibitor) increased the C maxand AUC of neratinib by 203% and 299%, respectively [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1)] .

    Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors:Fluconazole (moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) increased the C maxand AUC of neratinib by 30% and 68%, respectively.

    Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers:Concomitant use of rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer) decreased neratinib C maxby 76% and AUC by 87%. The AUC of active metabolites M6 and M7 were also reduced by 37–49% when compared to NERLYNX administered alone. Efavirenz (moderate CYP3A4 inducer) decreased the C maxof neratinib by 36% and AUC by 52% [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1)] .

    Effect of NERLYNX on P-gp Transporters:Concomitant use of NERLYNX increased the mean digoxin (P-gp substrate) C maxby 54% and AUC by 32% [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2)] .

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    A two-year carcinogenicity study was conducted in rats at oral neratinib doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day. Neratinib was not carcinogenic in male and female rats at exposure levels >25 times the AUC in patients receiving the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day. Neratinib was not carcinogenic in a 26-week study in Tg.rasH2 transgenic mice when administered daily by oral gavage at doses up to 50 mg/kg/day in males and 125 mg/kg/day in females.

    Neratinib was not mutagenic in an in vitrobacterial reverse mutation (AMES) assay or clastogenic in an in vitrohuman lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay or an in vivorat bone marrow micronucleus assay.

    In a fertility study in rats, neratinib administration up to 12 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg/day in patients on a mg/m 2basis) caused no effects on mating or the ability of animals to become pregnant. In repeat-dose toxicity studies in dogs with oral administration of neratinib daily for up to 39 weeks, tubular hypoplasia of the testes was observed at ≥0.5 mg/kg/day. This finding was observed at AUCs that were approximately 0.4 times the AUC in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 240 mg.

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Extended Adjuvant Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer

    The safety and efficacy of NERLYNX were investigated in the ExteNET trial (NCT00878709), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of NERLYNX after adjuvant treatment with a trastuzumab based therapy in women with HER2-positive breast cancer.

    A total of 2840 patients with early-stage (Stage 1 to 3c) HER2-positive breast cancer within two years of completing treatment with adjuvant trastuzumab was randomized to receive either NERLYNX (n=1420) or placebo (n=1420). Randomization was stratified by the following factors: hormone receptor status, nodal status (0, 1–3, vs 4 or more positive nodes) and whether trastuzumab was given sequentially versus concurrently with chemotherapy. NERLYNX 240 mg or placebo was given orally once daily for one year. The major efficacy outcome measure was invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) defined as the time between the date of randomization to the first occurrence of invasive recurrence (local/regional, ipsilateral, or contralateral breast cancer), distant recurrence, or death from any cause, with 2 years and 28 days of follow-up.

    Patient demographics and tumor characteristics were generally balanced between treatment arms. Patients had a median age of 52 years (range 23 to 83) and 12% of patients were 65 or older. The majority of patients were White (81%), and most patients (99.7%) had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of patients had hormone receptor positive disease (defined as ER-positive and/or PR-positive), 24% were node negative, 47% had one to three positive nodes and 30% had four or more positive nodes. Ten percent (10%) of patients had Stage I disease, 41% had Stage II disease and 31% had Stage III disease. The majority of patients (81%) were enrolled within one year of completion of trastuzumab treatment. Median time from the last adjuvant trastuzumab treatment to randomization was 4.4 months in the NERLYNX arm versus 4.6 months in the placebo arm. Median duration of treatment was 11.6 months in the NERLYNX arm vs 11.8 months in the placebo arm.

    The efficacy results from the ExteNET trial are summarized in Table 11and Figure 1.

    Approximately 75% of patients were re-consented for extended follow-up beyond 24 months. Observations with missing data were censored at the last date of assessment. This exploratory analysis suggests that the iDFS results at 5 years are consistent with the 2-year iDFS results observed in ExteNET. After a median follow-up of 8 years, there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the NERLYNX arm and the placebo arm [HR 0.95 (95% CI: 0.75, 1.21)]. The 5-year estimate of OS was 94.1% (95% CI, 92.7%, 95.3%) in the NERLYNX arm and 93.3% (95% CI, 91.8%, 94.5%) in the placebo arm.

    14.2 Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

    The safety and efficacy of NERLYNX in combination with capecitabine was studied in NALA (NCT01808573), a randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial in patients (n=621) with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer who had received 2 or more prior anti-HER2 based regimens in the metastatic setting. HER2 expression was based on archival tissue tested at a central laboratory prior to enrollment. HER2 positivity was defined as a HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 3+ or IHC 2+ with confirmatory in situ hybridization (ISH) positive. Fifty-nine percent of these patients were hormone receptor positive (HR+) and 41% were hormone receptor negative (HR-); 69% had received two prior anti-HER2 based regimens, 31% had received three or more prior anti-HER2 based regimens, 81% had visceral disease, and 19% had non-visceral-only disease. Patients with asymptomatic or stable brain metastases were included in NALA trial (16%).

    Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive NERLYNX 240 mg orally once daily on Days 1–21 in combination with capecitabine 750 mg/m 2given orally twice daily on Days 1–14 for each 21-day cycle (n=307) or lapatinib 1250 mg orally once daily Days 1–21 in combination with capecitabine 1000 mg/m 2given orally twice daily on Days 1–14 for each 21-day cycle (n=314). Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    The efficacy results from the NALA trial are summarized in Table 13, Figure 2, and Figure 3.

    What is the most important information I should know about NERLYNX?
    NERLYNX may cause serious side effects, including:

    • Diarrhea.Diarrhea is a common side effect of NERLYNX, but it can also be severe. Diarrhea may lead to loss of too much body salts and fluid, which can cause dehydration.
      Your healthcare provider will prescribe NERLYNX in one of two ways to help manage diarrhea:

      Full dose of NERLYNX:

      • Your healthcare provider will prescribe the antidiarrheal medicine loperamide for you during your first 2 months (56 days) of treatment with NERLYNX and then as needed. Your healthcare provider will tell you exactly how much and how often to take this medicine.
      • If you are prescribed the full dose of NERLYNX from the start of your treatment, be sure that your healthcare provider also prescribes antidiarrheals with NERLYNX. You should start taking loperamide with your first dose of NERLYNX.
      • After 2 months (56 days) of treatment with NERLYNX, follow your healthcare provider's instructions about taking loperamide as needed to control diarrhea.

      A lower starting dose of NERLYNX:

      • Your healthcare provider will start you on a lower dose of NERLYNX for the first 2 weeks of treatment and then increase you to a full dose NERLYNX regimen. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop diarrhea. You may be prescribed loperamide as needed.

      To help prevent or reduce diarrhea during treatment with NERLYNX:

      • Your healthcare provider may also need to give you additional antidiarrheals, fluids, and electrolytes to manage diarrhea when you start treatment with NERLYNX. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions on how to take antidiarrheal medicines.
      • Always take antidiarrheals exactly as your healthcare provider tells you.
      • While taking antidiarrheals, you and your healthcare provider should try to keep the number of bowel movements that you have at 1 or 2 bowel movements each day.
      • Tell your healthcare provider if you have more than 2 bowel movements in 1 day, or you have diarrhea that does not go away.
      • Call your healthcare provider right away if you have severe diarrhea or if you have diarrhea along with weakness, dizziness, or fever.
    Your healthcare provider may change your dose of NERLYNX, temporarily stop, or completely stop NERLYNX if needed to manage your diarrhea.
    See " What are the possible side effects of NERLYNX?" for more information about side effects.
    What is NERLYNX?
    • NERLYNX is a prescription medicine used alone to treat adults with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer andwho have previously been treated with trastuzumab-based therapy.
    • NERLYNX is also used with a medicine called capecitabine to treat adults with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) andwho have received 2 or more anti-HER2 therapy medicines for metastatic breast cancer.
    It is not known if NERLYNX is safe and effective in children.
